Much ado about nothing. Just more distraction generated by screaming from Fox News.
I swear, the white wing are some of the biggest fucking snowflakes on the planet. It's why we have this dumpster fire in the WH - they wanted him to lash out at every single thing they hate.
Even back when I was an omnivore, I didn't find the food there all that great. As a vegetarian, I don't think they have many options for me and so I've not even thought of stepping inside one in years.
I think they have much bigger problems than their logo. If you don't make veg-ns welcome, you have the veto effect in operation and you end up turning away more than "just" veg-ns...and restaurants have GOT to do a lot better than a poor attempt at a salad, or offering up a bunch of sides. Sorry, that's not enough to be treated like a goddamn afterthought.
^ Cannot tell you how many times I or other plant-based eaters have turned down various options for not being good enough for us - and that sometimes includes groups with a large amount of people, including company outings. There might be 3 or 4 vegetarians or vegans in a group that has several dozen and everyone else is omnivore? But guess what, the omnivores aren't eating there, either! The veto vote is very much a thing and I've seen it in action for decades. I've seen some industry people instructing others in the industry that they need to heed this effect, but I still see plenty of restaurants either completely unaware of it or ignoring it outright.
You're right.
Also people need to relax, the same mediocre food will still be available at higher prices.
Yeah, not sure why these people act like their childhoods were ruined over....checks notes....a logo? WTAF. People need to get much thicker skins.
Many years ago (like 20 maybe?) they were good and relatively cheap, but I haven't been to one in at least a year or two because their quality has been shit for so long...
TBF, I might not have stepped into one since the late 90's, early 00s. I think part of it is that I've never really opted for such fare anyway. I don't really care for American food all that much when dining out, and Southern food is most especially not my thing.
The other thing was that when I was younger, I tended to think of Cracker Barrel (and quite a few other chains like Marie Callender's and Village Inn and probably many others I cannot think of right now but you get the drift) as where much older people tended to eat - I mean, "boomer" is now shorthand for "anyone older than 40" it seems, but I don't think I saw many boomers there - this was silent generation/greatest generation as far as I saw. And that's fine if that's what you like; it just didn't seem like something I was ever going to choose myself. Every time I've eaten at Cracker Barrel it was when someone many decades older than me had chosen it as part of a family outing.
Sometimes I think I have no life and spend too much time on my phone or whatever and then I see that people are upset about this and then I don’t feel as pathetic
